Tesla Reserve – once in a life-time opportunity – Help make Earth Day meaningful!

There are so many reasons to establish Tesla as a Natural Reserve, including protecting its irreplaceable bio-diversity, natural resource values, and Tribal Cultural Landscape. As public land that has not yet been opened to the public, and which is not limited by prior uses, Tesla is the place to actually achieve multiple state policy priorities. It is the chance to put words, that are too often platitudes, into real action. Tesla as a Reserve will provide meaningful 30×30 protection, protect a critical linkage habitat corridor, provide landscape level protection for multiple critical habitats. It will not only provide the best protection for specific archeological cultural features, but also the entire tribal cultural landscape that encompasses its 3,100 acres. And it will provide for low-intensity recreation that is soft on the land and protective of its extraordinary natural and cultural resources.

We need to change State Parks concept plans, which are to jam as much high-intensity development and uses into Tesla’s sensitive integrated ecosystem as possible, even though such uses will damage the ecosystem, and there are nearby alternative for such impactful uses.

Help us convince State Parks to change course. Join our work and make Earth Day truly meaningful.
